City fans can look forward to seeing the kids play in a near-meaningless return leg at the Etihad, while a defeated Bucharest side can tour the National Football Museum in Manchester and see relics of its 1985-86 European Cup win.

Ajax 1, Rostov 1

Goals

Rostov: Christian Noboa – 13th minute

Ajax: Davy Klaassen – 38th minute (pen)

Russian minnow Rostov embarked on its maiden continental conquest in decent form courtesy of Ecuadorian international Christian Noboa‘s opener, only for Ajax skipper Davy Klaassen to nullify that effort with a penalty seven minutes before the interval.

Ajax dominated in every statistical category and bossed the match, though the scoreline is level and there’s everything to play for in next Wendesday’s second leg in Russia.

Dinamo Zagreb 1, Red Bull Salzburg 1

Goals

Red Bull Salzburg: Lazaro – 59th minute

DInamo Zagreb: Marko Rog – 76th minute (pen)

A drab affair at the Stadion Maksimir was boosted slightly by two second-half goals, with Red Bull Salzburg‘s Lazaro opening the scoring only for Dinamo Zagreb‘s Marko Rog to score from the spot 15 minutes from time. Here’s hoping the return leg in Austria is a more compelling affair.
